1. Muthava Sindhu direct da

2. Mulaila ilai nadumedaila

3. The description says she's 21 but she's 31 (at the time of this video)

4. She was great on the Glee Project. Great talent should be shown no matter what the package.

5. Ali would have won the award without the chair – saw Oklahoma! last night and she was a standout among a very talented cast. She won the award on her talent and commitment, disability notwithstanding. I’m excited to see the future of theatre that includes people who may have felt excluded due to their differences – think of all the talent out there waiting for their shot.

6. Ive seen so many kids denied roles in highschool theatre and regular community and college theatre denied roles because of disabilities and for a broadway star in a wheelchair to win is a HUGE thing. The reason why her disability is being highlighted is because there is still so bany barriers up in theatre for actors and actresses with diabilities, the theatre itself is a very active performance art especially musical theatre so they tend to gloss over those who live with disabilities even of they have immense talent. This shows that you can do anything you want, its inspiring and it gives hope to so many and i dont think people understand that.

7. This is so beautiful on so many levels 😭

8. Good for her, but what's hollyweirds attachment to firsts? Who cares if she's the first, acknowledge her accomplishments instead of making her look like a common diversity hire on

9. I thought people referred to female actors as actresses. There's a word for it look it up stop changing the English language

10. I thought Oklahoma was lame

11. This title is unfortunately worded.

12. Did anyone notice the ugly people are saying she's beautiful LOL

13. The only thing ABC ran that us worth watching…. 1, 5 minute video… that is all… congratulations to the young lady.

14. Why is he always looking left wtf

15. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WHEELCHAIR..!

16. Keep up the good work Ali

17. Wasn't she in Glee

18. Congratulations girl!!! There's ability in disability!

19. Big jugs. Also, what if they just felt sorry for her and pulled some SJW shit?

20. I hope this award is a genuine thing and not some token thing and then this actress will like in 5 years disappear like a lot of them have.

21. Used wheelchair to win? You mean she used hr talent despite her disability?

22. Great story👍

23. Here's what's so funny she's just in a wheelchair. It's not like she is brain-dead or anything like that. People in wheelchairs can do things! So shocked when somebody wins a reward? There's nothing wrong with her brain. The ones that are shocked on her getting the reward are actually the ones that are putting her down by being so shocked about it. It is as if they thought she couldn't do it or something. Liberals are put down artists and don't know it.
    They pretend to support but are always shocked by blacks success and in this case a supposedly disabled person. You work hard, you get rewards in life, it's that simple.

24. That's messed up she sets on her ass while doing her job and she gets award for it ,why can't we do that?

25. I think the fact such a big deal is being made that she's in a wheel chair is a massive step back for progression.
